Sketching Movies



Okay, so last night when I wasn't feeling well, I sat in front of my computer watching movies...and sketching. This is my desk area. It is actually quite large, with the left side of this extending about eight feet, and that is where my slanted desk top is and all of my art supplies. (It's good that I left it out since it is always piled high with paper and books and pencils and just about everything else that will fit without falling off!) You'll notice that my mouse is on the right side, even though I'm left-handed. That's because everyone else in my family was right-handed and so I learned to deal with it. Besides, it's nice being able to write with my left while scrolling with my right. I had to turn off the little buttons on the wacom tablet that are on the left because when I use the pen (I use left-handed), my hand hits the buttons and causes crazy things to happen unexpectedly. Woe is me, right? Anyway, I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the umpteenth time. This is the train scene when Harry and Ron are eating all that candy.

  1. Raena, I like your idea of sketching movies.
    Well done! I like your sense of humor too.

    Your desk sounds a lot like mine.
    I'm so glad that you're feeling better.
    Take care

  4. The candy on the train scene is great! Love when the chocolate frog jumps. Nice capture! The only other color I would have added would have been a touch of red for Ron's hair. LOL

  6. You certainly have been turning out a lot of art. Love them. You have such a interesting group of pictures, and they are all done very well as usual. Love the colors and subjects.

  7. I will never ever ever get sick of Harry Potter. Did I say never? Now don't be more productive then me when you're sick - that'd be really embarrassing. :) I think it's a great sketch. Love the way you placed your subject at an angle on the page and framed it with color.

  12. So many things in one post :) You're always a great storyteller Raena. I like it how you described that you're left handed and how you gained from using the mouse with your right hand.
    I like your rig, nice computer, nice tablet, looks like a very comfortable place to be.
    Glad that you're feeling better, and thanks for your words in my plum flower drawing. I got a bit lazy with the background actually, and I kinda regretted that I overdid it but I couldn't go without because then it wouldn't bring out the twig and the flowers as much... I still messed the background up though, I recognize my mistakes and I'll be careful next time.
